Can you switcg the position of the rear and front speakers in a home theatre system?

Question

Does it affect the surround sound effect?

Answer 1

If you mean can you put the fronts at the back and backs at front, I wouldn't recommend it.

The front speakers deal with dialogue as well as sound effects, the rears tend more to concentrate on background sound and sound effects. If you put the fronts to the rear, it would have the effect of watching someone speak, but hearing them from behind your back....both uncomfortable and distracting.

If you have different speakers and just want to switch them round, then yes, provided they are wired relevantly for their position

Answer 2

yes you can switch the position or or the cable

Answer 3

i guess as long as they are plugged in according to how you have arranged the speakers then nopes. if you want them say all at the front then you wont get that surround sound effect

Answer 4

Hi

Yes you can.

connect the rear speaker cables to the front speaker connections on your amp. connect the front speakers to the rear speaker connections on your amp. It will affect the surround effect as you will have the main effects coming from behind you and the surround effects coming from in front of you. If you don't have a centre speaker the dialogue will also come from behind you and just won't sound right at all. Have a go and see which sounds best to you.
